A couple of simple questionsJust wondered what you all use for normal procedures on the 737 800/900assume flight plan ( star and sid entered) in the fms1. at times i get a message says , efis and nav freq disagree. Does this mean , the tuned freq on nav 1 and the freq on the current leg of the fms ( even if lnav ) is disengaged.2.On approach I normally tune the ils on Nav 1 and the inital fix to vor 2 . but there is no course selector for nav 2,unless i missed it. I read a tutorial that says you should put the ils freq into both nav's but that is not completely realistic either.Peter [email protected]

But why would you want one? With all the fancy FMC equipment you have many other means of following/intercepting radials, FIX page and course intercept on the LEGS page come to mind.Regards,Markus
